Seeking Guidance on Advancing My Career as a Web Developer

Hi everyone,

My name is Jayant, and I am a Web Developer/Freelancer with over a year of experience. I have completed one remote job and one remote internship, and I just graduated this year.

Currently, I am searching for remote jobs but have been facing difficulties. Although I have passed several interviews, I have been unable to secure a position due to a perceived lack of experience by the companies.

I am reaching out for advice on what steps I should take next. I feel confident in my technical skills to land a job, but I'm unsure about the best path forward. Here are my current options:

  1. Learn New Trendy Technologies: Should I expand my skill set by learning new technologies that are in high demand?
  2. Deepen My Existing Knowledge: Should I focus on gaining more in-depth knowledge of the technologies I already know?
  3. Build More Projects: Should I continue building more projects with the technologies I am already proficient in? (I've already completed 6-7 major projects.)

Here is a list of technologies I have worked with:

  • Next.js
  • React.js
  • TypeScript
  • JavaScript
  • Prisma
  • AWS
  • Docker
  • PostgreSQL
  • MongoDB
  • Node.js
  • Express
  • Recoil
  • Hono
  • Tailwind CSS
  • C/C++
  • Java

I appreciate any advice or guidance you can offer. Thank you!
